Done!

I'll get back to you shortly.

About Me

Andy Hoffman is a full-stack web developer and consultant with almost two decades of experience. He stays informed of web trends and industry-wide best practices and has trained large teams to write better code. Here are a few of his beliefs:

Build tools like Gulp , Webpack and Grunt are essential for sane modern web development

Helping others is helping yourself

If it's not accessible, it's not a complete product

The mobile web is smooth and fast if we don't strap an elephant to its back (🐘 + 📱 = 🔥)

As web developers, you are probably familiar with the general concept of CRUD, but maybe you haven't had a chance to work with these concepts in much depth. I thought I'd share my experience with a small feature I recently implemented for a client. In this multi-part tutorial, I cover sessionStorage, REST and some real-world database examples.

Even long-time developers are sometimes guilty of considering accessibility at the end of a project (or not at all). In this step-by-step demo, I detail the usefulness of an "accessibility first" approach.

This is a tutorial encouraging developers to adopt a responsive, HTML résumé over a static PDF. I've seen many responsive résumés on the web since my article published. Hopefully I helped move things in the right direction.

Hobbies

I don't code all day, every day. I play the drums, work diligently on my jump shot and ride my trusty bike around Portland. According to duoLingo, the language learning app, I've achieved 70% fluency in German 🇩🇪. Even though that is probably marketing hyperbole, it's an effective motivational tool. Ich lerne immernoch!
